My neighbor has two dogs from the same mother, different litters. The male is two and the female is one and they tied. Is this considered inbred? Will the puppies be inbred? What's the best way to handle this?

The neighbors had no intention of them mating, the dogs did that. They didn't do this on purpose.

Different fathers....

I suppose if you breed with your brother it's okay. Your neighbor is a backyard breeder. Your trailerpark must be a real riot.

Yes that would be considered inbreeding. The people here that state that inbreeding is used often is true there is not a single breed or line where this isn't used. Inbreeding is heavily used in competition especially in show dogs to reproduce (carbon copies) of a great dog. Some lines use what they call loose line breeding where you will see more or less cousins bred to each other using 1 single theme dog many many times. One of my dobes have a dog called Sun Hawk who was a great champion 7 times in two generation in her pedigree.

To a point, yes. The question is, did they have the same fathers? This could help to relieve a few genetic disorders in the resulting puppies if their fathers were different. This would make the male and female half-siblings, instead of directly related siblings.

Truth is, all pure breds are inbred, they just have a long line behind them so they are not directly related. What your neighbor is doing though is really wrong. This kind of thing can cause all kinds of health problems for the puppies. I would recommend talking to the owners and letting them know that this will not be healthy for the pups. IF that does not work, you can report them to the humane society, ASPCA or your local animal shelter. Sounds like your neighbor is trying to become a back yard breeder.

Not necessarily. When dogs breed the eggs dont get instantly fertilized. the eggs and sperm stay separated for several days even weeks. she could also tie with another dog and the puppies could be from different fathers so some of the puppies could be inbred but some could be perfectly normal.

handle what? report them for what? even if you have pet limits where you live it usually exempts puppies up to a certain age.
unfortunately breeding is not illegal. the owners are irresponsible idiots but I don't think that is a citable offense either.
they obviously don't care about their dogs but unless they are being kept in filth or not fed or housed properly there really isn't much you can do - other than suggest neutering
when inbreeding is done by responsible breeders it is only after years of research of the pedigree of the dogs they will breed.
I'm not so sure this isn't actually "line" breeding

yes the puppies are inbred if they have the same mother, it doesn't matter if they were from different litters. I suggest getting both of them spayed and nuetered so this won't happen again.

Yes the puppies will be inbred

if i remember correctly they have to be at least 6 generations apart to be not considered inbred and not have any problems but in your case they are only two generations apart and may never develop exterior problems but are almost promised a life of mental disorders sadly hope this helped

Inbreeding is an approved practice among many breeders. However, if you inbreed more than one generation, you must be prepared to euthanize sub-standard pups.
There is only one way to prevent inbreeding, and that is to keep near related males and females away while the female is in season.
